About The Weekly Wench

Welcome to The Weekly Wench—this isn’t just a blog, it’s a ministry, a lifestyle, a love letter to every woman who’s done shrinking.

This space exists for the ones who were told to stay quiet, play small, or settle—and yet still chose to rise. I created it for the women who may not be ready to buy a ticket to the tour, afford a session, or even grab the book—but who still deserve access to the kind of wisdom that heals, liberates, and builds legacy.

Every post is written like a sermon: truth-telling, soul-stirring, strategy-laced. This is the real work—the kind that feeds, not teases. Here you’ll find stories, reflections, and hard-won strategems on reclaiming your voice, breaking generational patterns, preparing for your next level, and building a life that feels like freedom.

This is for my mother, my grandmother, and every woman who came before me with fire in her bones but nowhere to put it. It’s for the ones who exist alongside me, navigating and negotiating what it means to leverage the lives we have to get the lives we want. And it’s for the ones coming after me, so they can have the language, tools, and evidence that it’s possible.

This is more than a blog—it’s culture, it’s strategems, it’s a place to feel seen, and it’s where we shift our mindsets. And we’re not shrinking anymore.

Come get this word.

This Resilience “Ish” is for the Birds…But Bounce Back Anyway

The truth is, society loves to romanticize resilience. They’ll applaud you for being strong, for picking up the pieces, and for figuring it out when the plan goes left.
